While most people relax and enjoy the holidays, the market order book is becoming increasingly fragile.

Recently, some traders have openly stated that they are long Bitcoin and deploying small-cap tokens. Their core logic is not simply based on emotional judgment but on precise understanding of the liquidity environment. The current market situation is clear: trading volume is extremely sluggish, selling pressure is noticeably lacking, and the depth chart is as thin as paper. What does this mean? As long as large funds enter the market moderately, it is enough to trigger significant price fluctuations.

This is not gambling-style trading. Historical data shows that the market often experiences high volatility in January each year. December is precisely the trigger point for this wave of market movements—positioning when everyone is relaxed, just in time for the liquidity vacuum to be filled.

Many are still waiting for Bitcoin to break through 95,000 or 100,000 before jumping in, but this strategy misses the most critical accumulation phase. The true turning point in the trend never announces itself in advance; it always brews at moments when most people cannot see it.

So the question is: how difficult is it to stay alert during times of low market sentiment? The answer is: very difficult. Most retail investors react with a lag, while savvy funds have already positioned themselves based on liquidity depth and historical patterns.

The start of a bull market is often not when the market is the hottest, but rather when everyone is on vacation and no one is paying attention.

Wow, this is the legendary launch window. Bollinger Bands are already contracting... --- Depth chart is as thin as paper, RSI hasn't even reached low Earth orbit, the real fueling has just begun. --- Waiting for 95K to join the race, escape velocity will never give you a warning. --- Liquidity vacuum period = the best countdown to launch. This orbital breakout is solid. --- Retail investors are still counting sheep, smart money has already calculated the angle coefficient... Irony. --- Basically, hiding quietly during the holiday to add positions, only to regret when January's market kicks in. --- Only chase after a breakout of resistance levels, mostly bagholders, no one has escaped. --- The logic of deploying small-cap coins is one word—liquidity scarcity = maximum leverage effect.

Wait, why do I feel like this logic is a bit like hindsight bias? If it were really so easy to grasp, the big influencers would have been financially free long ago.

Nap warning, I heard clearly that the depth chart is as thin as paper. Wait a moment, I'll turn over and check the order book again...

That's why most people never make money; they sleep too soundly. --- Waiting for everyone to see 95K before entering? By then, it'll have already soared to the sky haha. --- Liquidity depth like paper? That's just our opportunity, taking advantage while retail investors are dozing off. --- It's an annual January thing; it's an old rule. How come some people still don't know? --- Retail investors relax their vigilance during holidays, while institutions are already lurking. That's the gap. --- Insufficient selling pressure? That means resistance upward isn't strong either, simple logic. --- Waiting to break 100K before following? That's called chasing highs. We want to ambush when no one is watching. --- Order book so thin it’s like paper is the most terrifying? No, the most terrifying is that you can't see it at all. --- Trend reversal points tend to appear at the most boring times. So boring right now. --- Smart funds have long completed their layout based on depth data, while retail investors are still watching the price.

Wait, is the depth map so thin it turns into paper? This is the real opportunity. Retail investors are still waiting for 100k, haha.

Wait, wait, wait, why does this logic sound like I've heard it a thousand times... Every time they say "big funds have been positioned," but I still get cut.
